Review Summary |
When the X5000 works, it's among the very best home media centers we've ever played with. It's not, however, perfect for design and implementation. |
The NDP9200's sleek design and video performance are praiseworthy highlights. If it had better remote and wireless support, this player will be a surefire hit with today's connected AV crowd. |
The MCE DMA2200 is probably the best media streaming device we've ever tested. It's a shame you can use it with only Windows Vista, but for those who want to send media from their PC to their TV, it's the ideal solution. |
The smaller cousin of the 2200 is surprisingly more interesting than you'd expect, although it's still somewhat eclipsed by the streaming capabilities of other units. |
